Late April to early May is jacaranda season. The jacarandas in Xichang are especially amazing! - 🗺️2-day, 1-night travel guide: DAY❶: ▪️Take the high-speed train from Chengdu South Railway Station 🚄. It takes 3 hrs to reach Xichang West Railway Station. Then, take a taxi 🚖 to Qionghai Hotel. ▪️Walk to Qionghai Plank Road, feel the breeze, and have a cup of coffee ☕️. It's perfect for daydreaming and taking photos 📷. ▪️Have a simple lunch and rest until 3pm or 4pm before heading to Tangyuan. - DAY❷: ▪️Go to Aerospace North Road to see the jacarandas. Go early!

There is a temperature difference between morning and evening, so bring a jacket 🧥, which can also be used for sun protection! ✔️Tangyuan is not very big, so you can take your time to stroll around. It's been hot lately, so you can have lunch, rest until 3pm or 4pm, and then start taking photos. ✔️If you are tired of walking around, there are also various delicacies to enjoy. Tangyuan is really a one-stop shop for eating, drinking, and having fun! I even had hot pot 🥘 here at night before continuing to enjoy the scenery.

|A romantic winter poem in Colorful Yunnan. I. Geographical Coordinates and Natural Wonders In the warm basin of southwest Sichuan, Xichang, with its unique subtropical monsoon climate, nurtures China's most unique cherry blossom landscape. Unlike the traditional spring cherry blossom tide, the Cherry Blossom Valley (Qinglong Temple area) on the east bank of Qionghai Lake and the Xiaoqing River basin see thousands of acres of winter cherry blossoms and Taiwan cherry blossoms bloom from December to March every year. These cherry blossom forests grow by the mountains and water, and the pink, crimson, and deep red petals form a three-color symphony with the blue waves of Qionghai Lake and the verdant greenery of Lu Mountain. Especially in front of the ancient buildings of Qinglong Temple, the cherry blossoms and the upturned eaves create a harmonious picture of movement and stillness. II. Botanical Secrets and Cultural Imagery Xichang cherry blossoms include five rare varieties: 1. Winter cherry blossom (Prunus cerasoides)—A rare winter-flowering variety in China, with deep red flowers hanging from the branches like flames, blooming from New Year's Day to the Lunar New Year. 2. Taiwan cherry blossom (Cerasus campanulata)—Its bell-shaped flowers and early spring blooming habit make it a messenger connecting winter and spring. From January to March, the crimson sea of flowers looks like clouds and mist. 3. Hisakura cherry blossom and Yamazakura cherry blossom—The gradient colors from pink to white compose the prelude to spring, creating a dreamy scene of falling petals from March to April. Cherry blossoms are endowed with a double cultural meaning here: In the Yi epic poem "Le'ert Yi", cherry blossoms are regarded as "the totem of life on the ancestors' migration route"; in the contemporary cultural tourism context, they have become a symbol of "the gentle side of the space city", forming an aesthetic contrast with the rigid lines of the satellite launch tower. III. Landscape Narrative and Spatial Poetics The design of Cherry Blossom Valley fully integrates topography and humanities: - Terraced flower sea: The cherry blossom forests distributed along both banks of the Xiaoqing River form a three-dimensional flower waterfall through the terraced structure with a drop of 30 meters. When tourists walk through the stone slab trails, they can experience the immersive feeling of "walking among flowers, flowers flowing with the mountain". - Light and shadow theater: The reflection of the cherry blossom lake in the morning glow is like a Monet oil painting, while when night falls, the intelligent lighting system renders the petals into a flowing galaxy. Coupled with the Yi moon guitar performance, it creates a four-dimensional art space of "sound, light, flower, and shadow". - Ecological museum: Herbaceous plants such as platycodon grandiflorus and dianthus, which are mixed under the forest, form a vertical ecological community with the cherry blossoms in the canopy layer. The setting of insect hotels and bird-watching walls makes this place a natural education classroom. IV. Humanistic Memory and Urban Spirit Xichang cherry blossoms carry unique collective memories: - Festival symbol: The annual "Cherry Blossom Market" held around the Yi New Year combines traditional wool felting crafts, buckwheat cake making, and cherry blossom tea ceremony, forming a dialogue between old and new cultures. - Literary imagery: Local poet Aku Wuwu wrote in "Cherry Blossom Language": "The ripples of Qionghai Lake imprint the folds of petals, translating the coldness of winter into the code of spring", giving cherry blossoms a philosophical sense of transcendence of time and space. - Ecological declaration: As an important node of the ecological barrier project in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the expansion of cherry blossom forests witnesses the city's transformation from "mineral dependence" to "green economy". The annual cherry blossom adoption activity in March has become a concrete expression of citizens' environmental awareness. V. Viewing Guide and In-depth Experience - Golden photography spots: The Qinglong Temple viewing platform (ancient architecture and cherry blossoms), the Xiaoqing River arch bridge (water flower shadows), and the southern slope of Cherry Blossom Valley (sunrise flower sea) constitute the three classic locations. - Limited experience: The "Cherry Blossom Star Trail Map" exhibition created by space workers transforms satellite remote sensing data into art installations, showcasing the integration of technology and nature. - Taste memory: The cherry blossom feast launched by Qionghai Hotel uses salted petals to make "cherry blossom jelly" and "cherry blossom sea bass", continuing the ancient wisdom of "cherry vinegar" in "Qimin Yaoshu". This pink miracle blooming at 27° north latitude is not only a masterpiece of nature, but also a crystallization of human ecological wisdom. As the Beidou satellite streaks across the night sky of Cherry Blossom Valley, the flowers of life on the ancient land are writing an ecological fable belonging to this era. 💟 Estimated blooming time: April 20-25

🌸Attraction recommendation: The jacaranda trees on Aerospace North Road in Xichang are a popular spot for photos. The romantic purple flower sea blooms every year from April to May, making it perfect for taking pictures. It is recommended to go in the early morning or evening to avoid the crowds. 🌸Nearby snacks: There are authentic Xichang flavors around the jacaranda trees. It is recommended to try: Huili Chicken and Shredded Rice Cake (small shop on Aerospace North Road) - The soup is fresh and the rice cake is soft. Liangshan Potato Burger (roadside stall) - Potato with Houttuynia cordata and chili sauce, a local specialty; Grilled Tilapia (nearby stalls) - A must-order for Xichang brazier barbecue 🌸Other delicacies Drunken Shrimp (fresh shrimp from Qionghai Lake, spicy and refreshing) Mianning Local Restaurant (cured meat, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes are super delicious) 🌸Accommodation: Homestays near Qionghai Hotel are cost-effective (such as Qionghai 17 Degrees, clean and comfortable, CNY 200-300/night in the off-season) 🌸Transportation: The Chengdu bullet train takes 3 hours to reach Xichang West Station. A taxi to the jacaranda trees in the city center costs CNY 10. Pay attention to sun protection when driving, and bring an umbrella in the rainy season. ⚠️Avoid The prices of fruit stalls in scenic spots are vague, so ask clearly first. Avoid expensive wild mushrooms in barbecue restaurants and choose old shops with clearly marked prices. Seize the flowering period and come to Xichang to encounter a purple spring!🌸

The UV rays are strong at noon, and it's very hot outdoors, so it is recommended to rest in the hotel. 🌺🌺🌺Jacaranda photo spots summary❗❗❗ 1⃣️Hangtian North Road This is a popular place to see Jacaranda! The Jacaranda trees are tall, and the street is not wide, making it particularly suitable for taking photos. However, there are also a lot of tourists! And drones are not allowed on Hangtian North Road. 2⃣️Jianchang Road (near Jianchang Pavilion Archway) The Jacaranda on this street blooms very well, which is very suitable for taking citywalk fresh style photos. There are stairs at the archway that you can go up, which is the only place where you can overlook the Jacaranda street scene without a drone. It is very suitable for taking pictures of people, cars, and flowers in the same frame. 3⃣️Chuangye Chuangxin Road The Jacaranda on this street is extremely lush, and it is relatively niche, not many tourists know about it. Drones are allowed on this street, so aerial shots of the Jacaranda street scene are the best! 4⃣️Wenhui East Road There are several large Jacaranda trees at both ends of this street. Drones are allowed, and the street is narrow, making it easy to capture empty and clean street scenes. 5⃣️Hangtian Avenue Section 3 (the bridge next to the Holiday Inn Express) This spot is very niche. The Jacaranda tree next to the bridge blooms extremely well. Due to the height of the bridge being just right at the flower's position, it is suitable for taking portraits. The afterglow of the setting sun shines here from 5 - 6pm, creating an excellent lighting effect! 📝Golden sentence for this scene: "You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection!"

🍓 Blooming Season: Early April to late May, with peak bloom around mid-to-late April ❤️ Recommended Spots: Beihang Road: As Xichang's most famous jacaranda avenue, it's perfect for capturing stunning photos. You can also savor limited-edition summer treats like jacaranda yogurt and ice cream while enjoying some street photography. Jiankang Road: This area is not only a sea of jacaranda but also features vibrant bougainvillea, allowing you to capture both Xichang's city tree and city flower in one shot. Donghui Bridge at the end of Beihang Road: Here, you can reach out and touch the jacaranda blossoms, encountering the flowers up close. Every photo you take will be a masterpiece. Jianchang East Road (Tangyuan): With its Tang Dynasty-style night scenery and dazzling lights, this is the best place to experience the enchanting beauty of jacaranda at night. You can also enjoy refreshments under the trees. ❤️ Xichang Cuisine In addition to the recommended spots above, Moon Lake Wetland Park and Dengyue Road also boast beautiful jacaranda blooms. ❤️ Recommended Spot: Beihang Road This is where you'll find the largest and most vibrant jacaranda blooms in Xichang. The 500-meter purple corridor is particularly striking against the blue sky. 1. Jianchang Alley The ornate architecture contrasts beautifully with the pure purple blossoms, creating a graceful and elegant scene. 2. Chuangye Road This is a relatively "hidden gem" with a unique charm, reminiscent of the verse "Flowers bloom silently under the moon in spring, shy of the moonlight in the deep night." 3. Wenhui Road This street has a warm, down-to-earth atmosphere, much like a scene from a youth romance drama. 🍓 Tips: 💛 Don't forget sunscreen! Don't forget sunscreen! The sun in Xichang is very strong. There are also mosquitoes under the trees, so remember to bring mosquito repellent. ❤️ Transportation: You can drive from Chengdu/Kunming, with travel times of approximately 5 hours/6 hours, respectively. Although the drive is not short, the scenery along the way is spectacular. Besides driving, taking the high-speed train is also a good option. It takes about 3 hours from Chengdu and about 4 hours from Kunming, making it easy to enjoy feichang fen (vermicelli with preserved vegetables) in Chengdu in the morning and barbecue in Xichang at noon.

Happiness in Xichang for less than 10 yuan!! The Jacaranda is super beautiful!! I'm traveling to Xichang ah ah ah Xichang is really a city with a very high cost-performance ratio!! The Jacaranda has recently bloomed After getting off the train, take the free Jacaranda bus line directly to 'Hangtian North Road' where the Jacaranda is super beautiful and perfect for photos ■ In Xichang's supermarkets, you can buy a box of Liangshan Snow for 8 yuan anywhere!! It's still in Jacaranda season packaging, with blue sky and white clouds, perfect for travel photos, and it's also very tasty!!! Best served cold!! There are small stalls near Hangtian North Road selling Jacaranda ice cream for 10-15 yuan, just buy the cheaper one. Personally, I think the taste is average, but it does look very nice~ After strolling around Hangtian North Road, go to Qionghai Park to enjoy the '20-minute park effect'. The free sea and beautiful scenery are the true essence of travel~

In the bright May, I caught the tail end of the Jacaranda. The Jacaranda in May has passed its blooming peak Although most of them have withered, they are still very beautiful One can imagine what the city looked like during the peak blooming period, covered in blue and purple mist I am really happy, and I guess it's a small success in flower chasing - 📸 About shooting: 📍Hangtian North Road Actually, the Jacarandas here have almost all fallen, only at the entrance bus station there are still two trees that are blooming quite well Here they have Jacaranda-themed creative ice cream, cute and fitting for the scene . 📍Tingtao Town·Zhongshufang Actually, I came here just for the blooming flowers by this window And it did not disappoint me, the Jacaranda in May is gradually withering It can't compare to the grandeur and shock of the peak blooming period, but it still amazed me Zhongshufang is a two-story white bookstore, with floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides of the second floor One whole side of the window faces the flowering trees outside, as if surrounded by a sea of blue and purple flowers, just sitting here makes one feel the romance that comes unexpectedly The bookstore is quite niche, not too crowded, a good place to read and enjoy the view - 🎫: Free (drinks available for purchase) 🕐: 09:30-18:00

|Attached is the guide. The city streets surrounded by light purple may have the exclusive romance of this season. If you also like purple, you don’t have to fly to Kunming. Sichuan has a similar Jacaranda Street Xichang is at its most beautiful at this moment, with endless sunshine and fruits everywhere. My three-day and two-night Xichang tour itinerary: Day 1: Chengdu - Xide County (3 hours by train) - Check in at Xidexi Hotel and put your luggage there - Check in at Xiaoxiangling (10 minutes by car) - Return to the hotel and soak in the hot springs Day 2: Hotel - Xichang City (1.5h) - Xinxingyue Hotel - Qionghai (300m away) Day 3: Sleep until you wake up naturally and see the Jacaranda trees in Chengdu About Xiaoxiangling Xiaoxiangling is very suitable for beginners to hike. ▲The plateau lake on the mountain The primeval forest azalea forest ▲ The stream and the road The grassland is amazing again and again! The scenery is so beautiful. About [Qionghai] Qionghai is very large, and great views can be seen everywhere. When you are tired of walking, you can find a chair to sit down, watching the ripples on the water and basking in the sun, which is very comfortable. Internet celebrity check-in spots: Diaoyutai, Moonlight Town, and Jinlin Beach. Diaoyutai has a long corridor and tree trunks extending into the water, which is very photogenic but there are so many people that you have to queue up to take pictures. There is an internet-famous coffee shop near the Moonlight Town. Jinlin Beach is just a small beach with coconut trees. About [Jacaranda shooting position Hangtian North Road (most densely populated with flowers, suitable for taking environmental portraits): Zhuijia Shooting time: 16:00-18:00 in the afternoon The densely populated areas on this road section are mainly concentrated on the east side of the road Wenhui East Road (the flowers are the most compact, suitable for flying drones): Zhuijia Shooting time: noon 11:00-13:00 There are high-rise buildings on both sides of this section 3 Jianchang East Road (with a memorial archway as the background, the combination type is best): Zhuijia Shooting time: 9:00-11:00 am There is a memorial archway on this section of the road, and the memorial archway faces the west 4 Jiankang Road (two-way lane, the widest road, suitable for taking photos of city streets): Zhuijia shooting time: noon 11:00-13:00 There is a local specialty Tianma chicken nearby to eat~ About [Hotel] First Day Xidexi Hot Spring Hotel: It is only 1 hour away from Xichang by car. The hotel is only 10 minutes away from the train station. It is a 5-diamond luxury hotel. Each room has its own hot spring pool. The package is valid until June 30, 24! The next day Zhongxin Star Moon Hotel: The geographical location is very advantageous. It is located in the Dashiban Ancient Village Scenic Area in Xichang, 300m away from Qionghai, adjacent to Qionghai Wetland Park, and backed by Lingying Ancient Temple in the east.

With its superior geographical location, complete facilities and high-quality services, it has become an ideal place for tourists to explore Xichang.

"After the snow of moutan peonies, spring is about to leave, but the jacaranda trees are still full of blossoms." Women always love flowers, regardless of their color, admiring their graceful branches. Whether you are naturally flamboyant or not, the very essence of flowers can sincerely evoke love in you, helping to dispel the gloom. In recent years, jacaranda has become an annual top attraction in Xichang. It can be said that jacarandas are found almost everywhere in Xichang, filling one's view, but the most beautiful tree shapes, densest blossoms, and most pervasive presence are found only on Hangtian North Road, which also happens to be the most chaotic with the heaviest pedestrian and vehicle traffic, making it the hardest place to take pictures. However, people still rush to crowd this purple path, perhaps because the chance to see this purple haze, which only appears once a year, is truly rare. Just like its flower language 'Waiting for love in despair,' having hope means having expectations, and despite all the obstacles, it finally appears before your eyes.

Who hasn't yet visited the hometown of Naomi to see the jacarandas?💜 Xichang's April is really too beautiful❗️ It's a romantic sea of purple flowers💕 The best viewing period is around April 20th during the full bloom. Viewing locations include Beihangtian Road, Jianchang Road, Wenhui Road, Dengyue Road, Jiankanghuan Road, and Chuangxin Chuangye Road. 📍The location I photographed is on Beihangtian Road. 📝Camera position reference The spot by the window, away from the crowd, is really great for taking photos - and the traffic lights opposite the gas station and the zebra crossing are also very picturesque! 🍀The jacaranda trees are quite large and tall, so if possible, it's suggested to bring a small ladder or stool for photography; this way, the photographer can take pictures from a low angle, making the frame much cleaner～ Little Tips Wearing light colors can make the photos stand out more - Xichang's sun is very strong, so don't go at noon; it's better to go early or after four o'clock when portrait photography will be a bit easier

The Jacaranda! It refers to the sea of flowers that blanket the trees on both sides of the streets, where you can hardly see any leaves, creating a dreamy and atmospheric vibe. Among woody plants, only cherry blossoms and jacarandas can achieve this effect. However, compared to cherry blossoms, jacarandas may be even rarer. This is because there are few woody plants with purple flowers in nature, and jacarandas have high climate requirements. In China, probably only Xichang and Kunming have such landscapes (where the whole tree is covered with flowers, and you can hardly see any leaves). Cherry blossoms, on the other hand, are found everywhere, and there are many alternatives to cherry blossoms, such as pear, apricot, plum, and crabapple blossoms, which can achieve a similar effect.

Use a telephoto lens to make the Jacaranda trees appear denser and create the feeling of a Jacaranda tunnel. If possible, it is recommended to go at 5 pm, when the setting sun shines on the fluttering petals of the Jacaranda trees, and the passers-by, the scene is absolutely stunning. Post-processing tips: The main thing is to handle the purple of the Jacaranda trees well, to prevent the background and sky from turning purple like the flowers. A background and sky that lean towards cyan-green, contrasting with the purple of the flowers, looks very good. Increase the overall exposure a bit to make it bright and clean.
